Representative Text

1 Christ our Redeemer died on the cross, Died for the sinner, paid all his due; Sprinkle your soul with the blood of the Lamb, And I will pass, will pass over you.

Refrain: When I see the blood, When I see the blood, When I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass over you.

2 Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save; As He has promised, that He will do; Wash in the fountain opened for sin, And I will pass, will pass over you. [Refrain]

3 Judgment is coming, all will be there, Each one receiving justly his due; Hide in the saving, sin-cleansing blood, And I will pass, will pass over you. [Refrain]

4 O great compassion! O boundless love! O lovingkindness, faithful and true! Find peace and shelter under the blood, And I will pass, will pass over you. [Refrain]Source: Yes, Lord!: Church of God in Christ hymnal #248All representative texts • Compare texts • Text size: Regular | Large^ top
